No documentation exists, so you must read and verify the shell scripts yourself before running anything.

Wtf does this do

The repository named "i3" doesn't include a README or any documentation describing what it does. The project is written in shell script, which is typically used for automating tasks or configuring system environments on computers running Linux or macOS. Without a description or accompanying guide, it is impossible to know what specific problem this code solves or what benefit it offers to a user. Shell scripts can do anything from backing up files and installing software to managing system settings, so the actual purpose here is unclear. Anyone considering using this code would need to open and read the script files directly to understand what commands they run. This is not ideal for non-technical users or those looking for a ready-to-use tool, as running unknown shell scripts can modify your system in ways you might not expect. In short, this is a bare repository with no explanation. If you are not comfortable reading and interpreting shell code yourself, there is not enough information here to safely determine what it does or whether it is useful for your needs.
